Six Senses to Open Resort in Bali by 2017

Here's a great pick for an over-the-top incentive trip: Luxury resort company Six Senses has announced plans to develop an all-suite and villa resort in the southwest of Bali at Uluwatu, a 35-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Six Senses Bali, which is scheduled for completion by the end of 2017, will be set at the top of cliff, sharing the ocean views with the island’s famed Uluwatu Temple.

Designed by PT Cahaya Warna Prima with environmental sustainability in mind, the property will include 28 sky villas, 62 one-­bedroom villas and seven two-bedroom villas. The top-tier Retreat Villa will be set atop a prominent knoll with sweeping views of the ocean and the resort. Two restaurants, a pool bar and a specialty restaurant with chef’s table, cooking school and organic garden are also planned.

Corporate functions can be held on an event lawn or, indoors, in a ballroom, two meeting rooms or in a formal pavilion. The resort will also have its own Balinese temple.

The property's Six Senses Spa will offer locally-inspired specialty treatments together with an extensive menu of signature therapies, ranging from multi-day wellness programs to rejuvenation therapies and detox, as well as a selection of activities and complimentary morning yoga.

Six Senses Bali will include an Experiences Center that can arrange sightseeing excursions, cultural events and water-based activities.

Uluwatu is perhaps best known for Pura Luhur Uluwatu, one of the six key temples believed to be Bali’s spiritual pillars, renowned for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 250 feet (70 meters) above the sea. Several archaeological remains found here prove the temple to be of megalithic origin, dating back to around the 10th century.
